What is it?

Documenta is one of the most important

exhibitions today for contemporary art.

It was created by Arnold Bode, becausehe wanted to prevent anything like

entartete Kunst like it happened in the

Second World War.

The exhibition opens every 4 years.

- Great experience, because in theSchloss Wilhelmshhe there are not onlyworks from the Documenta, but also

antique art, art from the netherlands fromthe medieval.

- Also you can see almost all portraits fromRembrandt, which is also a reason, whymany people come. Its a greatopportunity.
